Friendship

Good evening everyone ! I hope you've had a great week. I had so much fun with my Sister who left this morning. It's hard to say goodbye but we had a wonderful visit. Another Sister who lives in Amsterdam will fly over next month so I have that visit to look forward to :)

I'm a little tired today but was 'itchy' to create something. I pulled out my Dylusions Inks again (still experimenting) and created this card using stamps from Designs by Ryn. I'm enjoying using the vibrant spray inks & stencils which create a different 'look' for me :)

Designs by Ryn Stamps used: CMF15 Leafy Branch & CMB5 Tsuki .

The background was created with Turquoise, Lime & Grape Dylusions Ink on Watercolour paper. I used the Mini Chicken Wire Stencil from Crafters Workshop.

I stamped Leafy Branch several times with Black Ink and then highlighted the leaves with Mustard Seed and Picket Fence Distress Markers. Picket Fence appears to be illuminating, it's great.

The Moth (Tsuki) was stamped on watercolour paper, embossed in black and coloured with my Tom Bow markers. I cut him out and adhered to the background. The 'Friendship' image is from the great Fiskers set "Friends Forever Quotes". I use this set frequently, it's a great value which I purchased at Crop Circles in Peterborough (for those that live in this area). I used Picked Raspberry Distress Ink around the Friendship image.

Wow stunning Shirley, a lovely butterfly and a beautiful coloured background. I've still not bought any Dylusions yet, but they are moving up my list.

I'm glad you had a great time with your sister, and have another coming to look forward to. We're off into London today to see my Uncle who is very ill. Not looking forward to all the extra traffic, due to the Olympics.
